Ever since April, there’s been an outburst of protests demanding that the country re-open its economy. These quote-unquote “Freedom Rallies” had people of all walks of life demanding that the government end the quarantine. Naturally, as soon as we heard one was coming to San Diego, we sped off to check it out.

The collapse of society is an idea that’s endured for thousands of years. From the Great Flood of the Bible washing away the sins of society to the lost city of Atlantis, humans love thinking about collapse. But collapse isn’t just an idea: this is a video about the real dangers of society collapsing in the near future. After predicting impending societal collapse in the 1970's, The Limits to Growth was buried by the opposition. But as climate catastrophe looms on the horizon, it's message is more important than ever.

I hate to admit it, but I love drama videos. Watching titans rise and fall in the YouTube coliseum is basically a blood sport. And this week has been jampacked with entertainment. Shane Dawson getting called out by the Smith family disintegrating his YouTube career. The beef in the beauty community between Jeffree Star, Tati and James Charles. And the continuing saga between h3h3 and Killer Keemstar has provided an endless cascade of drama and call-out videos that I have been playing nonstop as background noise.
But as much as I like them, I can’t help but feel a little unsettled by them. What's the problem behind these videos?

You can learn a lot about a society based on its mythology. Does it describe a fall from grace? Is it a story about salvation? Is it biocentric or anthropocentric? Mythology can tell us a whole lot about a world. But if we want to understand the mythos and world of the Legend of Korra, we need to look at some real-world examples first. Like The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest written story ever.

The war in Ukraine is, at its core, a proxy war between Russia and the United States and it's been brewing since the fall of the Soviet Union. The United States has pursued expansionist foreign policy in the post-Soviet states, implementing capitalist shock therapy to plunder Eastern European nations of their resources while establishing itself as the world's single power. Both Russia and Ukraine have been victims of this to varying extents. At the same time, Russia and the post-Soviet states have struggled finding their place in this new world order, and in this struggle for meaning, most post-Soviet states have found themselves aligned closer to the West than the East. Increasingly isolated and encircled, Russia rebuilt itself as an illiberal imperialist power of its own and in its attempt at countering the West’s influence with it’s own, Ukraine has become the unfortunate ground zero of this battle. While the conflict has been escalating for decades, it wasn’t inevitable. There were multiple off-ramps on the path to war that Western powers not only failed to take, but they actively avoided, making the conflict worse. As for what the future holds, it’s hard to say. But, before we go back to the beginning and look at the details, it’s important to remember the losses, the men, women and children who have lost their lives, throughout all of this. When giant powers resort to war, it’s regular people who suffer most.

Masahiro Sakurai is always making headlines. Super Smash Bros., the premiere Nintendo fighting franchise, is a hard series to lead. And Sakurai has had to pay with sweat, blood, and tears to keep the games as good as they are. He's considered *THE* videogame auteur by many, but it can't be that simple. It never is.

You constantly hear about how immigrants are criminals and burdens on the welfare system. Donald Trump got elected mostly on his anti-immigrant rhetoric, and countries everywhere are seeing xenophobic fascism on the rise. In the midst of all this outsider-hatred, could open borders be the cure?

As of May 2nd, there are over 1 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States. Over 64,000 confirmed deaths have overwhelmed morgues across the country. 1/3 of renters didn’t pay rent on April 1st. In short, it’s do or die for workers. I tried to fight back, here's what I learned.
